Cocoa Mews Cafe and Homestay

Pros: Great location and the team are exceptionally friendly. Wish I had stayed here earlier in my trip as other guests seemed nice and chatty too. Breakfast snacks were delicious and a lovely touch. Four cats which was a great bonus for me.

Cons: The bathrooms and shower and through the kitchen meaning its a bit awkward to try change after shower or walk through kitchen in towel. But kitchen was quiet so it didnt really matter while I was there

Basic but lovely hosts

Pros: Perfect location for exploring Penang, we walked everywhere! The hosts are wonderful, super positive people who have endless suggestions and guidance of what to do/eat in their city. We really appreciated the breakfast snacks too!

Cons: Worth noting that the room has no window.

Amazing wonderful place I will not leave

Pros: I've been traveling in Asia for a long time now and have seen many accommodations. But this one is by far the best. You are given a warm welcome and feel right at home, even though you're far away from home. What's more, breakfast is served every day with local delicacies. And best of all, it's announced every day at 9:00 a.m. via video message. Each guest is also introduced via a WhatsApp group. All important information about George Town is announced there, and the breakfast video with detailed descriptions is posted. It's wonderful. I already miss the accommodation and wish the guys all the best for the future. Oh, and the boss here is Garfield.

Cons: That I have to leave.

Like coming home

Pros: My first place to stay in Malaysia and it was fab. Situated in the middle of Little India it’s a great location in Georgetown for getting around. Arthur, Howie and Amrit were all so friendly and helpful, providing a group WhatsApp with local interests, food recommendations and what was going on. Howie brought the most delicious breakfasts each morning and I was really touched when he found out I couldn’t eat wheat that he made sure I could eat what was made each day. The kitchen is well equipped and has tea, coffee and snacks available all day. My room was spacious and bed very comfortable. The use of ear plugs blocked the outside noise, which was quiet later at night. Cats Garfield and Bobby were an added bonus for me. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you all so much

Really beautiful experience

Pros: The team are super friendly and engaging and provide lots of local knowledge! It has a lovely feel being there

Cons: The only thing was my bedroom had no window

Excellent place to stay, central and very friendly.

Pros: The host was very friendly and full of information on a daily basis regarding tourist attractions, where and how to get to them, etc. Room was clean, the bed was comfortable, there were snacks and drinks provided throughout the day. Great location (in Little India) close to all attractions, central bus station and ferry terminal.

Cons: There wasn't anything I did not like really.

Amazing and unique Homestay!

Pros: Amazing and unique homestay! Where we have extended two more nights, we might even extend an additional. - Arthur and Howie have been so kind and helpful. - There has been free, delicious and local breakfast every morning. Not only that, there has been fruits, snacks, tea, coffee and much more available. - It is clean and tidy - the family room has balcony with great view to the street - they are soo helpful with tips and tricks. This is a unique gem

Pros: Everything! We extended our stay from 2 nights to 5! Wouldn't stay anywhere else in Penang. King Arthur and Howie are such great hosts, giving everyone such good recommendations, providing loads of interesting snacks and fruit, even catering for gluten free needs. They're so lovely and enthusiastic! They go above and beyond with the offerings, sweets, tea and coffee, filtered water, eye masks, ear plugs etc. Amazing location, good hot showers etc.

Pros: Arthur and Howie thank you very much for your warm welcome at cocoa mews. All the information and experience you give (fruit degustation, breakfasts) are amazing.

Great hostel and friendly staff. Loved it.

Pros: Everything was perfect, the owner was very kind and helpful. The room was clean and the location was excellent. Would happily stay there again.
